You should come up skiing sometime. I'm dead serious. It would be good for your mojo. I've already had the 'Rona.....so you're good there. Sounds like fastfred is also on board with this. Do it!

This has been a hot topic in our household lately. GNP tourons are what keep Whitefish ticking all summer. Who knows what the Park will end up deciding to do, but no matter what decision is made, it will cause some harm. Shut the park, keep outsiders away and watch the businesses die a slow death or open it up in some fashion and bring a bunch of people through the area. Keeping the hotels/short term rentals closed will only do so much in my opinion.

Frickin’ mess is the damn truth.

I've also been really hung up on what to do about national parks. No good answer there. If GNP reopens I don't think they could open visitor centers or public restrooms, park entrance would have to be free to minimize interactions. No way you could run the free shuttles. Lodging in the park would also be pretty questionable. If/when they open it would have to be some version of "you're on your own", expect limited visitor services, no park concessionaires. I don't know if the park service would go for that, but at the same time I abhor the idea of leaving parks closed. Leaving Yellowstone and Glacier closed all summer would crush small businesses in gateway communities, but so would corona I suppose.

all I can say is I’ve been skiing my face off solo in my town

Have you learned to skate ski yet? I “learned” at BV. Paul Peterson(?) gave the marmots a free lesson. Twas great.

Even if GNP and Yellowstone open, there are going to be lower levels of tourists simply because many will still be spooked about traveling over the summer. An increase in local visits might help somewhat, but a significant of revenue for businesses in both regions come from international travelers, who are more likely to stop at restaurants (vs pack lunch), book hotels (vs camping), etc.

While I'm not sure if they make up the majority of revenue, it undoubtedly is a significant chunk to be worried about. I'd be shivering in my boots if I owned one of those businesses.

A mess for sure....

Maybe keep the crowds down with online reservations for the parks? Tell the Tourons there are no services - come prepared?

At least there would be some business activity in the towns outside the parks but not the summertime boom.

This goes for many mountain towns. Like what’s going to happen to Summit County this summer? Will Frangers be allowed to visit?

I certainly hope so. I don't know what businesses can possibly survive if not. I keep thinking about how good it would be if this covid awfulness never happened. It's only lead to death suffering and loss.

[old goat]

I gotta believe that FG is good peeps.....he does have a solid panache for telling like it is. A+ contributor here. I'd have a beer (or six) with him.

KKK on the other hand........fueled by emotion, hatred and insecurities. Maybe he's more chill IRL, but his online personna could DIE IN A FIRE and I wouldn't care.

FG - 1
KKK - 0

I'm not sure if that's an accurate score, but KKK has set the bar so low that any score at all is WINNING.

In the light of the antibody testing coming out around the world, I don't see why any outdoor activities should be limited in any way considering that Walmarts are open across the nation. It's insane that there are still limitations OUTDOORS. Mortality is WAY below 0.1%. Cases have been severely under reported and deaths definitely over reported. It's not really debatable at this point. It's purely gov't being cunts just to be cunts.

There are no trustworthy antibody tests that are available currently.

The < 0.1% number is total bunk.

I went for a ride yesterday on the Tahoe to Pyramid trail. Rode the section from Verdi West to Farad and back. Photo is from the start at
Crystal Peak park. Fun day with an occasional rain shower.

“I believe the greater good is the 98% who will survive this,” Miller said. “We trusted our medical professionals, as we should, but they overestimated. They need to retract their statements and get accurate info before people starve to death.”

R U named Miller? Asking for a friend.

Did the number of avalanche deaths actually go up since the corona shutdowns? Seems like we had a few high profile ones posted in the slide zone. And this is with half of the potential recreation areas in the west coast closed?!

[summit]

More close calls and deaths in my zone since the shutdown despite overall lower avalanche danger ratings. And non-avalanche related accidents

CDOT might have closed Loveland Pass for parking issues, but the desire to close it for rider wrecks and avalanche close calls coincided closely.

[Name Redacted]

I'm gonna start a shuttle service that'll take Frangers to the top of the pass and drop them off and pick em up at a predetermined time and place later. $210 per person, just like a Vail lift ticket. Renting a U-Haul. For an additional fee fee, I'll be renting PLB's and providing "last seen" info to SAR. What could go wrong?
